An urusua1 Condl,inn Of An.,r.

The following unusual circular is ISSUED
by Weinstock & Lubin TO their out-of.tosr
/ customers:
We are obliged 10 ask those who have
sent US orders in the last day or two to bear
with US in filling them. An extraordinary
condition of affairs has arisen. We pre-
pared TOR the fall and winter trade this sea
son on large scale. We increased our
force by 90 TO 20 more people than we had
ever employed before making in all q staff
over 275 people. We thought that with
such force we could more than handle all
the trade that would come.
In HtiS fCe 1gere mistaken
The prices IN our catalogue seem TO have
been surprise, even TO our old customers
From the day the catalogue was issued
trade has oeen bounding up and up Dur
ing the past two weeks the press Of orders
has been beyond all expectations. Our
people have worked early and late We
have had to even close our stores at times
to city trade in order that every available
person IN the house might be used in dis
patching the mail orders.
In this way We have thus far managed to
I'LL the vast number of orders received,
within twentyfour hours after their
arrival. In addition to this increase Of
trade through the mail, We have also had
quite as large an increase in our local bust
ness. The two have now become so large
that for the next few days we cannot fill
the mail orders as promptly as is our usual
custom.
We make this explanation in order that
our customers may know the exact condi-
ton of affairs. Nothing like it has ever
occurred in the past history of the house,
and we hope, by making preparations in
the future on still larger scale, to prevent
its recurrence.
The present situation has one pleasant
feature. 1t shows that our goods, stvles
and prices are appreciated, and that the
number of people who are finding that
they can do better at our stores than else
where IS rapidly increasing. Respectfully.
WEINsroCK & LuRIN.
